That day, when he was trying to a bottle of milk out of the fridge, but he dropped the milk bottle. The milk spilled all over the _ floor, which turned out to be a sea of milk. He was afraid.

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of him, she smiled. She said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have __ seen such a huge puddle of milk before. Well, since it has already been done, would you like to get down and play in the milk for a moment before we clean it up?” Robert did his mother told him.
